Absolutely stunning piece of installation work by Random International, The Swarm Light ‘is an experimental light installation that subtly reacts to the viewer’s audible presence’. Be sure to the Coute Que Coute blog for more information and a great video of the works. Awe inspiring.
For all you hoarders and collectors out there, illustrator Lisa Congdon has created a lovely little project that will span exactly one year, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, which on each day she will photograph, draw (and occasionally paint) one collection from her vast array of stuff. been some great vintage treats so far.
